From the President 4 BHHBA October 2018 Home Builder Happenings www.blackhillshomebuilders.com Dean Hedrick Hult Homes, LLC 2018 BHHBA President October is here and fall is in the air. Where did the summer go? BHHBA continues to be busy as ever – do you guys EVER SLOW DOWN? (I hope not!) September saw us com- plete a Builder Care Project for an elderly lady in Custer, the golf tour- nament was a great time again and even witnessed a HOLE-IN-ONE, The Fall Parade of Homes showcased 15 wonderfully built houses and had great attendance, and we continued our advocacy for the building industry with the City of Rapid City regarding Building Permit Fee increases. October plans to be just as busy. We are working with the South Dakota Insurance Commission so we can move forward with Association Health Care for BHHBA. Our Build Pac Committee is hosting their Gold Key Recruitment Dinner on October 10th . And our elections social and meeting of the members will be on October 18th . This is an important social for every member to attend. The election of our leadership every year determines the direction YOU AS MEMBERS want this organization to go. You have to be there for your voice to be heard!

Most importantly, I want to thank each individual member of this organization. BHHBA is a strong and powerful association – and that’s be- cause of you. We wouldn’t be able to advocate at city hall, help the elderly maintain their homes, enjoy the fel- lowship and fun of a golf tournament, lobby for Association Health Care, or showcase new homes in the Black Hills without the support, member- ship and encouragement of each of you. BHHBA is what it is because of YOU! We are indeed GREATER THAN THE SUM OF OUR PARTS! You ought to be proud….I know I sure am!

Mrs. Spragur’s Home Builders Care Project Thank you to all of the volunteers who showed up to help with the Pat Spargur care project in Custer. Saturday, September 22nd, 11 people showed up to help scrape and prime the house. Tuesday, September 25 mearly 20 people showed up to help paint and put the final touches on completing the paint job to give Mrs. Spargurs home a new fresh look. The final step of this project is to replace the windows, when the weather permits. Thank you to Sherwin Wil- liams for sponsoring the primer and paint and thank you our members who made it possible to buy new windows, to Builders FirstSource and JeldWen for helping reduce the cost of the windows for the home and to Black Hills Energy for the grant, which helped cover the remaining cost of the windows for the house.Mrs. Spargur was elated to have her checker board door and original house paint restored to a fresh new look! This success would not have been possible without all of our amazing volunteers.

Home Show Wow, it’s that time again! Time for the 45th Annual Home Show and we are spilling with excite- ment for all that the 2019 show has to offer. Contracts have been mailed out to last year’s vendors. We’re elated with joy to announce fees will remain the same as the 2018 levels. It brings us even greater zest to announce the addition of 16 booths in Rushmore Hall, which were added because the 2018 show was sold out! No you do not have to move booths, we have added these booths strategically to make sure you get the same booth you had in 2018, however you must get your contract in by November 8th in order to get the same booth you had in 2018, so move quick - you don’t want to lose your prime spot! Stay tuned for some groovy new additions to the 2019 show!

As I said, the 2018 show was sold out and traffic amazing! Vendors were thrilled with the leads and business they received because of their atten- dance at the Show. So, don’t miss your chance this year! We will be calling on sponsors soon. Sponsorship is a great and thrilling opportunity to showcase your busi- ness at a low cost. Sponsorships are available in slots starting as low as $500 and as high as $4500. We have a level for every budget so don’t miss out! The block booths were a great success and will once again be avail- able for the 2019 show. Block booths are a great way to save money if you are looking for multiple booths and are available to vendors with larger construction equipment in order to give attendees a chance to get up close and personal with products.

The “Do It Yourself” stage will be back again in 2019. Please call the office and let us know if you have a hands-on presentation in mind that would show attendees how your business can help with their projects. Entertainment is also needed for the stage area. If you know a talented in- dividual or group that would like to be a part of our entertainment in between the seminars let us know. Please call the Association office at (605) 348-7850 with any questions. You can also email to events@blackh- illshomebuilders.com.
